    Shot middle of the road... 650s we were discussing 6s and 7s and went down the middle to try that out

    Thanks man, Its a bit beaffier than I anticipated, would like to weigh it some time but I'm guessing 150#? The swing out is ridiculously sturdy, not bad for a do it yourselfer. Thanks for the advice u gave man.

    Awesome build. Subscribed!

    Any update on this?

    Did you retain the axle relocation plates with the expos?

    I did... Interesting enough all pro corrected the pinion angle with their springs, which caused my driveshaft slip yoke to be very close to bottoming out. So I continued use of relocation plates 3/4" back. I had my driveshaft lengthened one inch a few years ago because of the slip yoke entering too far... I'd be curious to throw a stock shafts I'm it with no relocation plates... I bet it'd work out just fine.

    FWIW, fellers, I’m not running relocation plates with my Expos and all is well. Love mine, in fact.

    Thanks for the info. My dakars have been great, but the ever growing weight has me thinking about the next set.

    Negative. Did you have the AAL in your dakars?

    Just weighing options for now. Will see what's going on after the rear bumper situation is decided and installed.
